I noticed in Tara's threads about provider ads, that a few hobbyists mentioned that providers should include a couple of face pictures in their showcase/ad.

I am one of the many ladies who choose not to publicly display my face here. I have several, good and valid reasons on why I do not. (Each to their own of course).

Even still, I get many requests from hobbyists wanting to see a face picture for their own personal validation. My face has been mentioned in several of my reviews...surely I've been told I have a pretty face.

Soooo....If you can't see a woman's face, is this a deal breaker? Do you NEED to see what the provider's face looks like? Even when she is described in her reviews?

Also, How important is it that the provider's facial attributes are attractive/inviting?

Also hobbyists, how would you feel if we providers asked for facial pictures of you?

There is no right answer here. A provider needs to think about her future beyond this business. Once your face gets out there, you are going to have to live with the consequences forever.

Otoh, many guys who ask for face pics before they see a gal do so because they have been misled in the past. They expected a thing of beauty, and instead they got a butterface. If facial attractiveness is an important factor in their decision, they have the right to choose based on their own assessment.

You have made a decision of privacy over dollars. That is the right decision for you. Don't second guess yourself...but don't fault the guys, either, who choose not to see you because they want to be sure before they lay out the cash.

It's the provider's call. I prefer to at least get a glimpse or some notion about their facial features. But hey, they don't see me until I walk in the door. So...

Very, very solid advise.

I am an "eye" man and love to see the providers eyes and entire face if possible. If a provider has sexxxy well made up eyes it makes her very inviting to see very soon

Guest092713 · 05-11-2013, 08:07 AM

Is for me. Too many butterfaces

It's interesting you would ask that question, BSB. I have been perusing (ahem) your extensive showcase and can just see your lips and nose in one of the pictures. It helps me get a better picture of you. The other pictures show your goddess-like features, but seeing your lips and nose makes the showcase much more revealing. And certainly more inviting.

I prefer to see a face picture, but it would not be a deal breaker on somoene that I had done research on. you can tell from a bit of research, whether someone is butt ugly or not

As for a face picture of me? I have no problem sending a face picture to pretty much anyone...it is just a picture of my face, i really dont see an issue. I probably would not send a nude shot with my face...unless i knew you

I do not have an issue with not seeing a providers face. If the chick has a butter face it will be in the reviews. Providers have personal lives the same as hobbyist, and privacy is important to them as well. So the no face is not a deal breaker to me. And I would not send a pic to a provider if she asked.

Epimetheus · 05-11-2013, 08:30 AM

I have made an exception occasionally but, it's not the norm. I usually will only see a woman when I know what she looks like. In the land of milk & honey guys tend to exaggerate a woman's appearance description in a review. Then there is the WALDT factor. What client A finds attractive is different from Client B.

I'd prefer a face pic, but at the same time, I fully understand the discretion many providers require, so I respect that as well. It is definitely no deal breaker or anything, and if I am interested in a provider without a face pic, unusually her reviews will have comments about how pretty her face is.

For someone like Samantha Thom, I haven't had the privilege of seeing her yet, and while she doesn't show face pics due to her outside the hobby life, her reviews always remark how beautiful she is, so for me there would be no hesitation there.

I have a provider friend that has decided to post her face pictures. I am worried for her. It is not my decision.though

Early2riser · 05-11-2013, 10:30 AM

Face pic is nice but not a deal breaker. I'm more interested with body pics. What is nice when providers who don't show the face provide a partial face shot or decent blur shot so you can figure out the face like features. Most pics are glamour shots anyway so you really don't know until you are in person. Per the points above you do enough research you can get comfortable with what to expect. Last time I checked once you go doggie no one really cares about the face anyway. So in situation where you feel the body is hot but the face is not your cup of tea (we all have different expectations of what that means) just doggy up! It's the great equalizer. Always has been and always will...

It comes down to what do you have to lose. You never know who may come across this site and possibly recognize you.

I suppose if you screened a gent and he requests a face you could provide it but it is up to you.

Also, showing your face, even if it's a lovely face, is no guarantee that you will make more dollars. My advise, especially to the younger providers, is to not show their face because it only takes one photo out there and it might as well be a hundred. And the consequences of that is that human beings can't help but form some sort of judgement, good or bad, based solely on that small aspect of your life.
Don't worry about the few gentlemen who miss out on experiencing the pleasure of your company because of your decision. Just provide quality service and the quality clients will come your way. Don't be bullied into making an error in judgement that might haunt you in the future or hurt the people you love. Best of luck.
